Is Mayor Kern qualified to hold his
office?
This question has been raised to
day on tlie absolutely novel ground
that Kern has violated the provisions
of the Municipal Act by accepting a
gift from employes of tho City and
County.
Yesterday when tho old Hoard of
Supervisors went out of office tho
members thereof wero each presented
with a pair of ruff-buttons by the
County employes, and Kern, al
though ho was nt tho time not n
member of tho Hoard, having re
signed as such at tho last previous
meeting, was also given a pair of but-
ftons. As Kern had at tho tlmo taken
his oath ns Mayor, and had entered on
Ms duties as such by making appoint
ments, it Is held that ho violated tho
law, which reads ns follows:
"Bectlon 136. Any officer of tho City
and County who shall, whllo In office,
accept any donation or gratuity in
money, or othor valuable thing, either
directly or Indirectly, from any sub
ordinate or employee, or from any can
dldnto or applicant for any position as
employee. Or nqbordlnatc. .under' him,
chall forfeit his office, and bo forever
barred and disqualified from holding
any office In tho service of tho City and
County."
